about christine spadafor

Welcome to the site! I am a management consultant, board advisor, lawyer, and former CEO. A graduate of Harvard Law School and the Harvard School of Public Health, I lecture as a Visiting Executive at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. I also serve on the Board of Directors for Boyd Gaming Corporation.

I founded SpadaforClay Group after years as a partner at top management consulting firms, including BCG (The Boston Consulting Group), CSC Index, and AlixPartners. In founding SpadaforClay, my goal was — and remains — to help boards of directors, C-suite executives, and management teams innovate and achieve new levels of performance. Over the past decade I have been privileged to work closely with first-rate clients and dedicated colleagues, and I am proud of what we accomplished together.

The history behind my logo

The SpadaforClay logo incorporates symbolism that ties to both my ancestry and my firm...

Only two generations ago, my hard-working Southern Italian family was tilling soil in the region of Calabria. They did not own the orchards where the gnarly olive trees grew; they were laborers in the field. Theirs was a hard life — and out of it grew the restlessness to seek opportunity in America. Despite the numerous challenges of starting anew in the United States, they always found a way to overcome obstacles. My ancestors were committed, practical, and productive.

I am deeply grateful to my extended family — and for their sacrifices through which I have been given much. Every day I seek to honor them through the committed work I bring to my clients.

A sharp-eyed visitor to my office will notice a slender stick leaning against the corner. It is not an ordinary piece of wood – it is a small branch from an olive tree from the very farm where my grandparents toiled. A daily reminder of what is now expected of me to honor them.

The resonance of the olive branch is not only personal, but also connected to the commitment I bring to my clients. I work with clients to address their business challenges in practical and productive ways – whether developing strategies to set the direction forward, crafting pre-and-post-M&A integration, setting goals for sustainable growth or eliminating obstacles for how directors on boards work together.

I am committed to my clients — both in developing and implementing practical (not just theoretical) solutions. With every single engagement, my focus is on achieving exceptional business results. So if you are looking for a consultant who has been in your position (making payroll, managing staff, answering to a board of directors, and needing to get things done under real-world conditions), we should talk.
